 You chose to prescribe analgesia and send the patient home!

You prescribe oral analgesia (naproxen 500mg BD and you don’t discuss the case with your supervisor) and “discharge” the patient, believing the pain will settle on its own and forget to safety net. The patient’s condition worsens overnight, with increasing pain and an inability to pass urine. The next morning, the patient is rushed to the emergency department with severe hydronephrosis and acute kidney injury (AKI)."

The following day, you receive a task in your Docman and you realise this could have been avoided!
